Hard to believe the remaining example of something so unique and massive was "lost" until found in 1974 in the backwoods of Camp Belvior, Virginia.

Well as this is an Australian Beauties II thread? I was just going to post a V2 then I found this below

If the Germans had a bit more time then they would have launched the first Nukes,more than likely at London first!

Australia's Nazi rockets: How German V-2 flying bombs made their way Down Under...







Almost seven decades ago, visitors to the Long Range Weapon Establishment at Salisbury in Adelaide's north would have seen something that was, at the time, quite amazing.

Pointing skywards, in all its dubious glory, was a Nazi V-2 rocket of the kind that, in the final months of World War II, brought a late wave of destruction to London, Norwich, Paris and Antwerp.

Mounted on its carrier known as a Meillerwagen, this particular V-2 towered above its new owners. Black and white photos from the time reveal a strikingly formidable object.

The rocket had arrived in Adelaide months earlier, when it was off-loaded at Outer Harbor in October 1947.

It was not the first V-2 to be sent to Australia — in March, a ship carrying another had docked at Fremantle. That rocket had also passed through Adelaide en route to Melbourne, and was then transported to Sydney.

The story of how they ended up Down Under is an intriguing one that involves science, politics and Cold War anxieties.
